Yeah I mean I wasn't around in the 70's so I can't really say for sure. I just noticed that 1) people in the media looked like normal people, unlike the perfectly curated and airbrushed models of today, 2) people seemed more authentic in the way they spoke and held themselves and 3) people seemed less nonchalant in general. Of course the media from that era I consume plays a part as well. Just my thoughts.
